''Now, You have mentioned a subject
that all Japan are interested i'm The re-
porter was talking TO Heihachi Tanaka
and Naoman Oyatsu, wealthy japanese on
a tour of the globe, who had arrived at the
palace, and the subject was railroads.
"Roughly estimating" said the latter
gentleman, 'we have now about 900 miles
of railway in Japan and we are at this
moment building railroads in twenty-four
different places. Hitherto our roads have
been detached and dsconnected--a few
miles projected here and there. We are
now uniting these detached sections I'm
continuous lines, and pushing out with
other lines as well. Railway building is
the topic uppermost with everybody. The
mikado is most enthusiastic regarding 1t.
In the next five years we shall have many
railroads constructed, and Toxic will be
the great center. 1t has five already.
Both narrow and standard gauge roads
are being built. We get the rails from
various countries, but chiefly from Eng
land and Germany, as weA as the cars and
locomotives from the latter. AS we arc e.
very initiative people, however, we shall
be able to make our own cars and locomO-
tives in five years. F"
Messrs. Tanaka and Oyatsu left their
home in Toxic in May, crossed the Indian
ocean, thence 10 MarSeillcS, BariS, LON
don and the cities of this country. 1--WE
are now faster than ever adopting Ameri-
can customs,' said they. 1--WE are now
wearing clothes in the same style and
building the same Kind oi houses. We
have street cars in Toxic, and are going
to have more there, and also in Nagasah
and other cities. The cars we get from
America. We would have had more
street cars ere this, but we use the jim
rikisha, or manstrength car. IL is n cart
on wheels drawn by man. 1t is very
convenient. Japan is the only country
that has it. San Francisco Examiner.

The Gypsy Kettle stick.

among the gypsies embodying the very
essence of the home belongings and the

it. Where the kettle stick is there is the
gypsy hearthside, the inglenook, the very
home shrine itself Perhaps best illus
trative Of this was my visit to the home
of gypsy friend in Philadelphia last
winter. The husband and boys were
away on winter trading tour in the
south, and found the old mother, n Grip
pie who could travel but little, with her
band alone We together cooked fa-
nous meal at the queer fireplace of the
ancient ramshackle house. All the old
belongings were in that replace, but my
hostess used none of them. She had set
the loved kettle stick on the quaint brick
work, and the fire and all were arranged
and used precisely as upon the road.

expression OF the gypsy home sentiment

An intelligent and practical builder
states it as the result of his experience
and observation that morter in the in.
terror of walls, especially if it be call
ed 'rice mortar is liable never to
harden, to retain its soft consistency
even for centuries; but this can only
be the case where the interior of tho
wall is Theoretically sealed against the
external air, which method both ar
rests evaporation and shuts off the
chemical operation of the atmosphere.
The fact has been stated that in En-
gland, not long ago, an architect dug
into stone wall three hundred years
old and of considerable thickness, and
took from between the stones quanti-
tv of mortar as soft as it must have
been the day the wall was built, and
discoveries of the same character have
been made in other places. 1t is also
stated that the possibility of such an
occurrence may be tested in very
easy way, manly, by putting some rich
mortar into glass bottle and hermet.

it will never become any harder than
when it was put into it.-M z. San.

EFFECTS OF SMOKING.
Physician Writes About the Evil Cor
sequences of the Narcotic.

q Physician Writes About the Evil Con-
sequences of the Narcotic.
Regarding the evil effects of using to-
bacco physician writes in the Science OF
Health: It impairs the nervous functions,
rendering the person more excitabe,
more irritable, and subject to a long
train of nervous affections. 1t impairs the
nervous constitution and transmits these
impaired constitutions to children. Such
children are feeble, excitable and liable
to be cut off by any serious disease. Often
they do not thrive well, are stunted in
growth, and do not attain the the stature
Of their parents before them. If they
take up the habit of tobacco using early
in life, as very likely they will, their
growth will be still more interfered with,
and they will present curious spectacle
of the lineaments of old age mingled with
the features of youth.
Already a noticeable iminution of the
stature of our people is observable. The
general average of height is less each gen.
GRAFTON. Men of full six feet in stature are
far less common in proportion to the num-
Der of inha abitants than they were thirty
or fifty years ago. A like falling off in
height is observable among the females.
Among other causes tobac CO. using by the
parents, often continued from early
youth, is prominent cause. 1t is cause
that is powerfully working the degeneracy
of the vital powers and arresting develop
ment.
This habit also exerts an infence over
the brain as well as over the nerves. 1t
obscures the perception and deadens the
sensibility. Tobacco-using students make
less advancement than others in their
studies.
The permanent impairment of the intel
iectual powers will be proportionate to the
degree of indulgence and its duration. If
continued through several generations
there can but result mental degeneracy,
Its excessive use impars all the bodily
organs, arresting development and enfee.
bling the natural powers, and its direct
tendency is to produce degeneracy of the
race. Already its work has begun; and if
not desisted from it will complete its work
and ultimately leave race of driveling
idiots. He who loves his fellow-man, let
him raise his voice against this practice.

Snakes in a Stage Coach.

Among the freight by the Golden.
dale stage few days since were two
rattlesnakes boxed up. During the
journey one of them got loose. and
quietly took a position between the
legs of passenger. How long he had
occupied this place could not be ascer-
tanned, but on realizing his predica-
ment, the man called hurriedly to the
driver to stop. and literally fell out OF
the stage His fellow passenger asked
what was the matter. and the only
answer received was "Snakes!"
Thinking it was a bad case of 'jim-
jams" he paid no further attention to
the matter until he cast his eyes and
saw his snakeship between his feet.
Giving yell, he made one bound and
struck the ground about twenty feet
from the stage. The snake was Sc
cured and placed in the box, but the

plant of the kind existed, but in 1871
others were discovered by the Indians,
who were eager to secure the seeds,
for it was feared that they would be-
come extinct. The flower was a very
perfect representation Of human
hand, the stamens representing the
five fingers, and extending from the

taught such nonsense. / saw the man and
tried to impress the fact upon him. Wehad
public debate which lasted two weeks
before crowded houses. He admitted that
there were too many hills and mountains
for the earth to be exactly fiat, and finally
went so far as to say that the earth might
be round this 'ere way least and westl,
